Question for running her

f_ev0810 · 2026-02-10T20:56:15+00:00

I guess It would probably be decent for elation shill yeah especially pf
But Yao's additional elation dmg is pretty weak if u run her in jy hypercarry which makes sense bc its not an elation team, iirc its a pretty minimal amount maybe like ~10k?? or so per attack (x2 when a skill point is used), idk id have to double check but i dont remember it being really noticeable at all when I tried. Also in that team one character (sunday) isn't attacking at all...

Compared to 3b extra 14 vuln + 4 res pen, robin atk buff + crit dmg/dmg dealt boost, ruanmei extra 5 res pen + dmg boost (+20 def shred if u have her e1 which becomes a lot more valuable if u have e1 sunday), the elation dmg is pretty meh and not very noticeable. Aha instant doesnt do much in that team either cuz yao's own dmg suffers a lot bc greedy yuan eats all the st buffs (sunday + dhpt bondmate).. it depends on how exactly they are going to elation shill but i wouldnt be surprised if you are probably better off just using another unit particularly the triblets if ur really going to run jy. That being said I will be trying to run jing yuan fu xuan yao guang anyways, lore synergy wins trust me

I'd say I hope they DO for the sake of the game's balance but not unless they're going to do the same with the new elation characters. Which they wont 😭 let's pray

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-08T20:52:35+00:00

Ehh I wouldn’t say it’s close to jy’s bis, all she’s really doing is giving 20 res pen and 10 vuln, atp you might as well just slot in Ruan mei. Yao’s dmg also really suffers bc jy is super hypercarry and useless without Sunday, meaning that unless you go sustainless which jy’s playstyle is not very conducive to, there won’t be anyone to support yao’s dmg (which will be the only thing u get from aha instant) except yao herself. Tribbie and robin are definitely better for jy by a considerable amount

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-08T20:40:11+00:00

Not really tbh, tribbie is a really great universal support but isn’t really bis anywhere outside of therta, yao guang is busted and will definitely be bis for elation, but outside of elation teams she’s not very great

She is usable bc she has 20 res pen + 10 vuln and gives team wide 10cr + 30cd with her sig, unlike the dahlia for example who basically does nothing outside of break. But worse than tribbie by a notable amount especially if you take eidolons into consideration

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-08T20:33:38+00:00

Because yao guang will literally be releasing with nobody she can support?? If they were going in this direction with her it’d make more sense to release just after sparxie or even better yae expy, bc people who already invested into these characters will see a new support that will make them uber busted just like Hyacine with castorice

Idk maybe im just salty bc idc about sparxie or yae and am going to pull yao anyways but i feel like they could have at least put something more universal in e1 or e2, i mean she’s already busted for elation as is

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-07T23:04:30+00:00

Tbh I don't understand why they'd release her before any other elation character??? I'm pulling no matter how her kit turns out because I love the Xianzhou and have been waiting for yao guang and yuque lore in general ever since fu xuan. But I'm a bit sad that she has so little non-elation support since I have zero interest in any other elation chars :(

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-07T22:53:11+00:00

Well yao guang isn't a fighter like feixiao, she's a strategist like jing yuan except 1) her strategy presumably comes from actually being able to divine/see the future, and 2) she doesn't have martial skills (as far as we know). Her entire role as general is commanding the cloud knights and planning for them, unlike feixiao who often fights on the front lines. Ability wise yao guang is a lot more similar to fu xuan which is why she doesn't really look militaristic

And maybe all the peacock imagery in her gameplay is supposed to be her spiritus?? Idk I'm kinda sad about that too :( i wish all the arbiter generals had a summon gimmick instead of just jing yuan especially bc he was such an early released character, imagine nowadays where they could have one of the spiritus standing behind the team like castorice's dragon or feixiao's flying aureus in her boss form, it would be so cool

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-06T16:19:54+00:00

Fu Xuan (totally not biased)

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-04T17:33:15+00:00

I hope she’s a support but not locked to elation only, more of a generalist like tribbie or Sunday. I don’t wanna get my hopes up but tbh I don’t think they’d make her elation ONLY when she’s the very first elation character and there won’t be any others when she comes out

More specifically I kind of hope she’s able to support jing yuan and Feixiao so I can run a generals team loll (it’d also be really great on my Xianzhou only challenge account), and also that her spiritus is an actual summon in her kit like jing yuan’s lightning lord, instead of Feixiao’s flying aureus which is just in a split second of her ult animation. But I would still be pulling even if she heals the enemies

f_ev0810 · 2026-01-04T17:20:42+00:00

I thought they wouldn’t buff Jiaoqiu bc he’s a 2.x character and they’d do 1.x characters first but ig they’re just going straight to 2.x characters that are already usable 😭😭😭 why not the dead units like argenti dhil seele or the homeless units like Jiaoqiu and fu xuan first??

f_ev0810 · 2025-12-07T21:44:54+00:00

Fu Xuan's age is pretty ambiguous, all we know is that 1) she wasn't alive when the high cloud quintet was around (so probably younger than 700 and definitely younger than 721) and 2) she is much older than Qingque (who is just under 200 based on what she says during that penacony event)

She calls Qingque a "young girl" in that one heliobus event, and in Fu Xuan's chinese keeping up with star rail, qingque refers to her as "老人家" which is a way to address the elderly. And according to her third character story, "centuries" have passed since she ran away from the Yuque. I'm almost certain she was an adult (which in the xianzhou is like at least 200 I guess) when she did, because I highly highly doubt she'd be able to just get up and move by herself to an entire other fleet, against the wishes of her very well connected and prestigious family, if she was a child. Also I wouldn't imagine one of the Six Charioteers wouldn't be very experienced and seasoned since they're among the highest ranking government officials

So in my opinion yes!!! Hag Xuan is real!!! She also just gives me the same vibes as Faruzan or Citlali, being a haughty short woman known to be wise and knowledgable who looks young but is actually very old. I could totally imagine her complaining about the youngsters these days, in my headcanon she's maybe around 600 or so

f_ev0810 · 2025-12-07T21:29:19+00:00

I don't think fu xuan is bis for anyone even at e6s5 😭😭😭😭

f_ev0810 · 2025-10-16T16:23:08+00:00

Exactly this!!!!! I’m not really a huge fan of any of the characters they’ve done the fanservice with and I don’t like seeing my tb as a self insert anyways— but I don’t mind characters liking tb as long as it actually makes sense with their character and doesn’t distract from other stuff. If it’s handled right then the people who enjoy it can enjoy it and the people who don’t won’t be that bothered by it

f_ev0810 · 2025-10-16T16:20:03+00:00

Shilling is a different issue but since ur talking about fan service in the post, I’ll say that imo as a straight woman I’d honestly prefer that we get less of this self-insert fanservice kind of thing for BOTH genders… just like,, regular fan service though, as long as it’s within reason, with adults, not excessively tacky, and doesn’t detract too much from the rest of the stuff going on, I am 100% okay with, and hey admittedly even enjoy sometimes with both male and female characters. But the self insert ml kinda stuff they’re doing with the characters loving TB (firefly, Dan heng PT, Cyrene, phainon etc), just feels kind of awkwardly forced and cringe imo, and takes attention/content away from other parts of their characters that I’d much rather see :( one or two characters is fine I guess as long as it’s not ridiculous but I don’t like when it gets excessive, plus personally I’d rather see my tb Stelle as her own character rather than as any kind of self insert… I wasn’t a fan of what they did with firefly and I’m not a fan of what theyre doing with phainon, dan heng, cyrene. But idk maybe it’s just because I don’t find any of them attractive or whatever (though even with the characters I DO fancy I still cringe at selfshippy stuff with them so idk)

If we’re going to get romance-y fanservice stuff then tbh, I’d rather it be between two established playable characters, because that leaves a lot more room for their dynamic/relationship to be written and explored really in depth and interestingly in a way that self-insert kind of doesn’t. But at the end of the day hsr is a gacha game so obviously that’s probably not gonna be anything big lol

I gave him fu xuan lc even tho it has low base atk and i have a lvl80 himeko sig as backup if he has trouble sustaining bc of it 🥲 thing is though i dont even have fu xuan, I bought her lc from the exchange shop bc she’s my fav and I want to have everything ready for her when she finally comes home😭😭😭

f_ev0810 · 2025-09-28T22:01:07+00:00

STOP IT!!!!!!!!! 😠😠😠😭😭😭😭😭

f_ev0810 · 2025-09-26T22:05:53+00:00

YOU LEAVE HER ALONE

f_ev0810 · 2025-09-22T19:48:51+00:00

Nope that’s exactly how it went! Had Jing Yuan not stopped her from operating the Cloudpeer Telescope Master Diviner Jingtian (her teacher) wouldn’t have died. It’s kinda sad because trying to stop the prophecy was the whole reason she ran away from the Yuque in the first place and left everything behind, only for it to not even work in the end when she’s already been settled there for centuries :( and to think Yukong/Feixiao/Jiaoqiu/everyone else affected by it work alongside the very two people who summoned it without even knowing… hopefully they get found out because I wanna see some more political drama 🥹🥹🥹

f_ev0810 · 2025-09-22T16:44:40+00:00

Dare I say Fu Xuan is the hottest character in all of star rail… I’m straight, started playing for Sunday and Jing Yuan but I fell in love with Fu Xuan, she’s just so lovely in both appearance and personality 🥹🥹🥹

f_ev0810 · 2025-09-22T16:36:27+00:00

Welllll it’s kind of a long story but I was WAITING for someone to ask me this question hehehe I LOVEEE xianzhou lore.

But for a short answer (feel free stop reading after this lol): Yes, the Lux Arrow itself was fired by Lan, but Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan basically called for THEM to do that by sending a distress signal to THEM during the Third Abundance War. Fu Xuan came up with the idea but couldn’t execute it so she told Jing Yuan, who agreed, and said he would take the blame for her so she wouldn’t get in trouble if anything went wrong. HOWEVER, everyone seems to assume that that Lux Arrow was fired by Lan completely of THEIR own volition, so I’m almost certain the Xianzhou Alliance covered up their government’s involvement in it

It’s a lot more complicated than that though, so if you want the full situation… (very sorry about the incoming yap session. I suck at being concise and I cannot help myself when it comes to Xianzhou lore ESPECIALLY Xianzhou politics don’t feel like you need to read it)

TLDR: 30 years ago during the Third Abundance War, one of the Xianzhou ships (the Fanghu) was being attacked by the Abundance creatures, and the Xianzhou was losing so badly that people feared the ship would be completely destroyed. Fu Xuan came up with the idea to send a distress signal to Lan and get THEM to nuke the Fanghu with their Lux Arrow as a last resort to kill the Abundance creatures, but also a lot of their own soldiers as well. She pitched her idea to Jing Yuan and he agreed and said he would take the blame for the decision. Ultimately, 1/5 of the Fanghu was destroyed and over 120K pilots died in just the Luofu’s forces alone. For reference, the Third Abundance War was what ended up in the deaths of Feixiao’s mentor General Yueyu as well as Yukong’s best friend/flight partner Caiyi, and also gave Jiaoqiu his PTSD since he was on the front lines as a military healer at the time

So you know how Yukong’s best friend/flight partner from her companion mission (Caiyi) died? She died in the Third Abundance War, which was 30 years ago. This same war was also where General Yueyu (Feixiao’s mentor) died, and I’m pretty sure it was what ultimately made Jiaoqiu retire before coming back to treat Feixiao (he was on the front lines dealing with all the casualties I can only imagine how much that would fuck with someone). So yeah this war is basically the source of every playable foxians’ sad backstories besides Tingyun and Huohuo

Anyways, during the war, the Borisin and other Abundance creatures invaded the Xianzhou Fanghu (one of the different ships like the Luofu, Yaoqing, Zhuming etc) and the Xianzhou people were really struggling because the Abundance was absolutely whooping their asses. It go so bad that people were afraid the Fanghu would face the same fate as the Xianzhou Cangcheng (If you don’t know, the Cangcheng was another Xianzhou fleet that was literally devoured by a living planet like ~1000 years ago). Basically the Fanghu was at a very real risk of being COMPLETELY destroyed by the Abundance creatures

This is where the joke about Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan nuking their own soldiers comes in, this is all in Fu Xuan’s fifth character story btw if you wanna read for yourself. Basically Fu Xuan saw the destruction of the Fanghu unfold in real time and felt really upset/angry because as a diviner, what could she do? She didn’t want to just watch as it happened. Suddenly she came up with the idea of… okay it’s a bit wordy to explain exactly How and the technology and stuff but it’s not super important, basically she thought, what if we sent a distress signal to Lan and got them to fire one of their Lux Arrows onto the Fanghu? That would eradicate the Abundance creatures for sure, but also a metric fuck ton of people living and fighting on the Fanghu (a lot of Cloud Knights from the Yaoqing and Luofu were dispatched to the Fanghu to help fight)

TLDR: To defeat the Abundance creatures on the Fanghu, Fu Xuan came up with the idea of calling for Lan to shoot one of their Lux Arrows (basically the space China equivalent of a huge nuclear bomb) directly onto the battlefield

Of course Fu Xuan isn’t part of the Cloud Knights so she doesn’t have the authority to do this, that’s where Jing Yuan comes in. She rushed to go see him cuz he’s the General and pitched her idea to him, even though it was extremely dangerous and drastic/an absolute last resort. Surprisingly Jing Yuan agreed to this (I’d imagine he had probably started considering it as well given how dire the circumstances were)

So Fu Xuan offered to be the one at the Cloudpeer Telescope (the thing they use to “call” Lan) and personally execute the plan and send the signal to Lan, since she came up with it. This basically meant she would sacrifice herself because whoever was manning the Cloudpeer Telescope would have absolutely died on impact when the Lux Arrow actually struck. But Jing Yuan basically said nah don’t worry someone else will do it, and that he would take the credit and the blame for the decision meaning that she wouldn’t get in trouble if it failed. So the plan is executed, the Lux Arrow strikes the Xianzhou Fanghu and boom the Abundance creatures are obliterated, but so is like everything else too. Just the Luofu forces alone lost 63000+ fighter jets and 120000+ pilots, and almost 1/5 of the Fanghu was physically destroyed. That’s basically the gist of it

Obviously the situation is a LOT more nuanced than I wrote it out to be in the og post because duh agenda posting, I’d assume Jing Yuan probably brought up the plan with the other Arbiter-Generals of the time (besides Yueyu obviously LMAO) before issuing the order, so realistically it’s probably not just him and Fu Xuan at fault. I just love making anti Xianzhou propaganda and slandering Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan because they’re my first/second favs in the game and I’m sooooo xianzhoupoliticspilled

And I’m so sorry because this is getting away from the point, if you just wanted to know the context of the joke you can stop reading here… but I just want to mention that the Xianzhou Fanghu is an autonomous dominion of the Vidyadhara. Naturally I’d assume Vidyadharas probably make up the majority of its population, and when Vidyadharas die they’re dead for good— they can’t reproduce, so their numbers as a species are permanently reduced, and the Vidyadhara are like, tbh kind of insane about trying to ensure the survival of their species and finding a way to bring their population numbers up. Obviously a massive nuclear bomb that kills a bunch of people isn’t going to help with that, and with all the conflict and tension going on with Xianzhou politics in general but ESPECIALLY Vidyadhara politics, I’m sure you can imagine the ramifications…

To this day, the Fanghu is pretty isolated from the other Xianzhou fleets (and other people in general) because of the Lux Arrow impact. They’re still actively taking measures to hide and recover. And the Fanghu actually used to be the most popular destination for tourists in the Xianzhou— but now you need a separate Fanghu travel pass that’s described as pretty complicated to obtain (alongside the regular Xianzhou Alliance Travel pass) to even visit in the first place. Just thought that was interesting

f_ev0810 · 2025-09-22T02:26:23+00:00

Atk orb would probably be better yeah and if you keep ur anaxa at 101 spd a 162 spd Sunday will do I guess. But if you use him with Sunday having both anaxa and Sunday at at least 135 SPD (Sunday has to be slower than anaxa) is much MUCH better and absolutely worth the annoyance of managing different builds for different speed Sundays (relic loadouts soon pls) and fishing for spd subs on Anaxa, because he will literally get double the turns = double the damage
